Westminster Walk


I completed this walk this morning with Sarah. A few of the roads on the walk were closed because of Trooping of the Color, the Queen's birthday celebration. I think all police and guards in the area were on duty for the parade. I've never seen more rounded hats, red and fur in my life. Those attending were dressed in tops hats and vests, skirts, dressed and beautiful hats. I love the hats worn on special occasions in the UK. It's a fun tradition! Along the walk we saw Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and Parliament. It was a great time to see the excitement and preparation for Trooping of the Color without such large crowds.
